GRAIN AND HA1.
The Penn's Grove record., 1887-05-28

AS a nation they are not great
skaters. Some good performers there
are; yet men who skate-taking the
term to mean something more than
merely floundering along in the most
ungraceful attitudes--are comparatively
small in number. AS the newspapers
tell us, crowds of people locked to the
nearest pond long before the ice bears.
To the masses the existence OF an acre
or two of ice means the extension of
available. play grounds. aud upon the
principle of anything for a change,
great numbers resort to every frozen
puddle. And what do they do when
they get there2 sliders are numerous;
more than half the skaters find 1t eces.
sary to braadish a stick as a means of
retaining their balance; a man doing
the,outslde edge is almost sure Of a gal
lery, while anything outside of this
raises the skater to the position OF an
expert. Yet skating in England has.
in point of proficiency, made RAPID
strides within the last fifty years; and a
few-but very few-of u best skaters
can hold their wi with the represen-
tatives OF any nation.

GIVE Us This Day"

life brought her nothing men call good
None OF its brightest or its best
But sorrow broke her solitude,
And anguish sought her patient breast,
Yet, through 1t all, her faith was strong,
And strongest when most dark her lott
She knew that peace was hers ere long,
Where sorrow dies, and tears are not,
So with clasped hands and Bonded head,
Her lips could say,
'Give us this day.
Our daily bread"
She climbed the weary hill of life,
With feet unaided and unshod
(Saye by Gods grace), aud constant strife
Attended every step she trod.
Yet, through the gloom these hadows
made,
A light about her feet was cast,
And lifting up her voice she laid
Her load, where loads must come at last.
Hence, those poor lips so scantly fed
In faith could say,
"Give us this day
Our daily bread"

The widespread belief that Ivy trained
against the walls of a dwelling-house is
productive of dampness is q fallacy.
